Hi, and thanks for such great coverage of my first release for ZDoom :D I really appreciate it! It started off last year when I wanted to investigate how far Doom modding had come since the 90s and then I kind of went completely mad with it, throwing in anything that interested me (new monsters, those Vulkoin tokens, scripted events, new weapon, a proper boss fight!) I definitely take the point about the difficulty, because I got so used to the maps from playtesting repeatedly and didn't notice it drifting up - in retrospect I definitely made that "escort quest" too long and it's really easier to clear the whole map out first and then go back for the coolant keg. You can get the Flak Cannon in MAP04 or MAP05 if you look hard enough, but by MAP06 it becomes obvious :) Thanks again for all the feedback, it's fantastic to know that people enjoyed this!
That's right, Realm667 is an amazing library of resources - the full list of stuff I used from there is in the credits in the PK3. And I'm giving the original stuff I made during the course of this mod back to them for others to use now :)
In case you'll wondering, this game mod was made with BDLite as the base. BDLite is a streamlined version of Brutal Doom that allows easy modding. Here's the link for the trailer of BDLite: ua-cam.com/video/NbWdZVj22Vw/v-deo.html
+Adam Sandler and the Gas Chamber of Secrets Well Vulkan was never a planet as it didn't exist, and Pluto isn't a planet anymore simply because of the change of definition of "planet"...so, completely different reasons lol.
If you are willing to cover another iteration of Brutal Doom, I recommend Johnny Doom. Play it in a WAD with large numbers of classic enemies and a rocking soundtrack.
hey icarus i have a challenge for you: there's a map/wad called planisphere2 which is a surprisingly accurate (for the doom engine) recreation of downtown new york and parts of jersey, and is basically as accurate as doom could get to surviving a zombie/demon apocalypse in the city. my challenge is for you to be able to actually beat it without any cheats. using mods is acceptable (within reason; russian overkill is basically a cheat haha) i hope you read this and take the challenge seriously. i just hope you have a powerful enough computer to run this map with a frame rate higher than a single digit haha love the videos and keep up the great work!
I feel like the enemies in this mod have been given extremely shortened reaction times. At one point you opened a door to a Hell Knight behind it and it had damaged you before the door even finished opening. Also you go round a corner and a shotgunner shoots within half a second.
HairyHog There's no actual release date apart from 'pretty soon'. You should sub to the dev, @SGtMarkIV, to stay on track. Project Brutality is another matter though, which is on ModDB, where you can sub to the dev's RSS feed.
PopMusicKiller that's all they updated? i didn't find recoil to be a problem it's just weird that they would remove it. though I'm half way through the game i haven't finished it in months.
It would be great if you could throw the ball at monsters and it stunlocks them for a few seconds while they hold their noses Also, some kinda mining related weapons would've been great for this, like instead of the flakcannon they coulda had a cannon or shotgun like archeologists use to detect stuff underground maybe they could have a jackhammer or drill instead of a chainsaw, or a pickaxe for lots of damage with one hit pickaxes, pipes, and sledgehammers would make more sense for the zombies, too. Why would a mining company have so many damn axes around?
As well as in Azerbaijani, Belorussian, Czech, Danish, German, Hungarian, Norwegian, Serbo-Croatian, Slovak, Slovene, Swedish, Ukrainian and a ton of other Indo-European and non-Indo-European languages.
Yep :) Russian was the particular language in my mind when I wrote the mod, as the setting was inspired by the Kola Superdeep Borehole - which ran into unexpected geological heat, starting a rumour in the 90s that the Russians had drilled into hell.
I was thinking 'Kola Borehole' all the way through this. I would have never thought it was actually inspired by it because the borehole story is more 'depths of Hell' in character than 'demonic invasion in progress' the wad has.
much love on the video, good job etc etc. my only issue is with the gameplay... look up dammit. when you're not fighting enemies and walking around the levels it looks like you have a habit of aiming down at the floor slightly.
Hey guys, I was wondering what kind of computer everyone has to run this at such a smooth frame rate. I figured I had a good enough computer to run games like brutal doom (6 core processor and GeForce 750 Ti video card) without any frame rate drops but it isn't as smooth as I'd hoped. Does it have to do with software or is my computer actually not good enough?
Oh yes... A doom review channel who actually talks and uses the strafe keys but also isn't making videos as if they're 12 with moviemaker and doom for the first time.
When I see this, I am reminded of my main complaint I found with brutal doom and project brutality. The enemies seem way too aggressive. Of course that's better than dynasty warriors footsoldier levels of apathy, but it gets frustrating when every third enemy who spots you manages to get at least one hit in, cause they immediately unload on you sometimes. Now I wonder if i'm the only one to have that complaint, cause it eventually just made me go trailblazer + ketchup instead. Same amount of awesome, but with much less unfair enemies.
Your weapons are through the roof in project B though. I play on Ultra-Violence and don't have an issue, I save 3-4 times a level and that makes for just enough of a challenge.
You have to play it a bit differently than you would usually play the old Dooms to avoid getting hit. It isn't cheap, just different. That being said, I can see why you wouldn't like the pace of it because the enemies are really fast in Brutal and you've got to react very quickly to avoid getting smacked around a bit. When I play Brutal Doom (which isn't really all that much anymore, I've been enjoying other mods recently) I just speed-run and play until I die (no saves.) I've made it to level 16 without dying before, still trying to finish the game in Brutal that way though.
If a wad is too hard with BD try using trailblazer with BD-monster-only version instead of just cetchup. Its really fun to moan them down with trailblazers OP arsenal
Devine Interventions because it is unnecessary to the cause of the MOD. also, if you are looking for that type of thing, you won't ever run out of reskins.
I recently bought the original Doom series on GoG and want to get into Doom map/mod making and the best way to learn as a student is to study the works of others before you try yourself; I must say that the amount of work on the mods (yes, even the really bad ones) is amazing.
Hah :) Yes, I like the splatteriness of Brutal Doom and the new weapons but I felt a lot of the other stuff got in the way, so I put it in a cut-down package that streamlined it a bit.
I'm actually a fan of BD (or rather Project Brutality) but what about this mod really needed to be BD based? If some enemies don't even have the right hitboxes for it they should've just made it compatible with BD and leave it vanilla by default. Even BYHAE can be played without it and it was designed specifically for BD.
BYHAE looks interesting. It was a bit of trouble finding a working version though, I did find one and am about to play it but I didn't manage to make it run without brutal doom. I didn't intend to play it that way anyway tho.
Hi! I couldn't decide what to do about BD compatibility and ended up with a kind of middle ground where I removed a lot of the special stuff but kept the effects and splatteriness (I like the new weapons, which feel really satisfying and have more punch than the set we've been using since the early 90s, but not so much the fatalities and other extras which I think get in the way). The trouble with it being run vanilla is it throws the balance off and makes it duller when you're slogging through the large number of enemies with a pistol - I didn't know the etiquette in the Doom community for how to handle it :)
The link to download on the ZDoom forum page was flagged by my Malwarebytes as a Trojan. Luckily, you can right-click the link itself to download the mod
I don't understand why some people there trying to resurrect planetoria. Maybe that was really old-mem and kinda feature of channel but anyway, he's gone because everyone ignored him so.. joke no more interesting. Maybe better create new mem? For exemple "even doom 3 looks awesome compared to this" or "doom (from e3) 2016 better then doom 2016" or another funny and senseless phrase. Now mem "At least it's better than doom 2016" not mem that Gotham really needs. *Looked at 18 likes* Wh-o-ops, maybe not.
That's fair enough - I was undecided on what to do about compatibility with it and ended up with a middle ground. I like the general splattiness, increased power and effects of Brutal but I took out a lot of the features I found irritating (fatalities and so on).
If the map set is designed around a certain mod, than so be it. It's more my problem than yours, I'm just too picky, I suppose. I have always found Brutal Doom to feel very messy in terms of gameplay, but, hey, a lot of people seem to like it so whatever.

DavidXNewton great mod, especially flack cannon, it would be nic if more doom mods would have UT guns in them
DavidXNewton I see you used Realm667 enemies and guns...
That's right, Realm667 is an amazing library of resources - the full list of stuff I used from there is in the credits in the PK3. And I'm giving the original stuff I made during the course of this mod back to them for others to use now :)
DavidXNewton you sir are talented
DavidXNewton are you still working on this? Going to add more content and episodes/levels?
Man, Im so happy for this channel ;). Hope it will last till the last doom mod is made, which is propably forever.
I Love this channel too. #Icaruslives&rules
DOOM IS ETERNAL

Flak cannon aka the most satisfying gun ever
keep up the ripping and tearing icarus love your vids
"Where some dumbasses managed to drill directly into Hell." LOL It's things like this that makes you awesome.
“Drilled directly into hell. As you do”
oh i'm early. let me make a joke....

Mal-ribs, I mean bad ribs like my sides are hurting
I don't get it.
It's a shame Vulkan and Pluto aren't planets anymore...

6:57 *cough* Doom 3 flashlight *cough*
*cough* we are talking about doom 1/2 mods.
@@IAmTh3Doom so? these mods contain many items from other games. mostly from heretic, hexen & duke nukem 3D
Very cool mod, I have to give this a try.
Can you play DirectX 12 next for comparison?
Honestly, I didn't think much of this mod, but baby cacos? Sold.

Will you review Project Brutality 3.0 and Brutal Doom v21 when it comes out?
Anyone else think the spheres at 6:35 look like the Westwood Studies Logo circa Tiberian Sun?
Speaking of Brutal Doom, v20c is in development, hoping you'll review it when it's released!
it's become bigger than that now and is just going to be v21
when's the update out?
HairyHog There's no actual release date apart from 'pretty soon'. You should sub to the dev, @SGtMarkIV, to stay on track. Project Brutality is another matter though, which is on ModDB, where you can sub to the dev's RSS feed.
Back To Saturn X2. Best singleplayer wad there probably is.
I love how you say doom mod madness
Great doom vid
Maybe the orb is not much fun alone, but maybe its great in COOP?
can someone PLEASE tell me how to get the secret chaingun on map 2?
Prodoomer recently got an update that removes recoil. Might be worth revisiting.
PopMusicKiller that's all they updated? i didn't find recoil to be a problem it's just weird that they would remove it. though I'm half way through the game i haven't finished it in months.
Looking at this video made me wonder what corporation would be stupid enough to drill all they way down to hell.
I completed this wad a couple of months ago, and it's a pretty good mod for Brutal Doom. I really like the Flak Cannon in this.
Is Brutal DooM rocket launcher from DooMed in space.wad?
can you do death foretold (d4t)? its on moddb.
doom wad wadness
good use of 3D floors. Will you be doing LORD MISFITS mod lol?
You can find a newer version here: forum.zdoom. org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=65061&hilit=vulkan
remove the space before the .org
I DEMAND A VIDEO NAMED "Moon Man - Doom Mod Madness" THIS INSTANCE!!
It would be great if you could throw the ball at monsters and it stunlocks them for a few seconds while they hold their noses
Also, some kinda mining related weapons would've been great for this, like instead of the flakcannon they coulda had a cannon or shotgun like archeologists use to detect stuff underground
maybe they could have a jackhammer or drill instead of a chainsaw, or a pickaxe for lots of damage with one hit
pickaxes, pipes, and sledgehammers would make more sense for the zombies, too. Why would a mining company have so many damn axes around?
I love the way you say doom mod madness hahaha
Fun fact: Vulkan means "volcano" in Russian (spelled вулкан)
a wonderful man with great knowledge of memes Well... this word has the same latin root
As well as in Azerbaijani, Belorussian, Czech, Danish, German, Hungarian, Norwegian, Serbo-Croatian, Slovak, Slovene, Swedish, Ukrainian and a ton of other Indo-European and non-Indo-European languages.
same in german

Hah, I was on the point of removing the shotgun testicles but forgot to do it - glad someone appreciates them ;)

Do a Legacy of Suffering please
Cartoon series symbol on door dont remember the name
But will it run better on vulkan. :P that is the real quest.
how come Doom mods hardly ever change the sprites?

That shotgun strap is distracting as fuck.
shotgun testicles
Rapid speed and stress? I mean. I am not sure about that.
I swear the coin pickup sound is sampled from my phone ringtone. damn so annoying
damn... dark levels... haha looks good though.

Escort missions are never fun, But it does overall look fun
its just me or you are playing on qz doom ?

Try snapmap in doom 2016
Brutal DOOM style? No dual wield? No monster weapons? Insta-Favorite...
Hah :) Yes, I like the splatteriness of Brutal Doom and the new weapons but I felt a lot of the other stuff got in the way, so I put it in a cut-down package that streamlined it a bit.

At least it's better than "doom" 2016
just kidding
I would've insulted you, but after clicking read more and not being the guy who says that, I just can't help but chuckle a bit.
